Ctl-Alt-Backspace is cool on unix-like OS's. It helps unclutter your screen. ;}
Well, that's common knowledge in UNIX / Linux world. :-)
When I press Ctrl-Alt-Del in OpenOffice, a system terminal (root) pops up. Is this a new OpenOffice feature? Or is it a bird? Or an airplane? No, it is Heinz, the meteor! :-) No, of course not, it's just a simple setting in WindowMaker's keyboard control dialog. Any key combination can gain priority and activate a WM function or an external program just as you wish.
To complete stupidity at this point, I think Ctrl-Alt-Del is so important that there are even keyboards for this key combination:

And because we're talking about keyboards right now, don't miss the StupidaKeyboard:

Sometimes, I would be glad to hand such great equipment to certain kinds of users. :-)
